  You Could Be Happy

  5:00am- 3.5 miles on the indoor track- COMPLETED 32:14 (AVG 9:07/MILE)
               30 minutes on the elliptical- COMPLETED
               Abs- COMPLETED

  Good workout this morning.  I'm a little sore from lifting last night with Ry, but other than that it was a great morning.  Ry did AWESOME last night.  He really pushed himself to keep struggling through the reps and get the job done.  I was so proud!  He might even do a little running tonight to get some cardio in.  I'm so proud of him taking this step to make himself feel better.  As with most people, it has to be their choice to make a lifestyle change and I think maybe Ry is easing in to changing some things.  I'm super duper proud of him!!!!

  Speaking of changes, my new eating patterns are going well.  I'm shaking things up, being pretty strict, and am having 6 smalls meals a day, rather than 3 normal meals and 2 snacks.  Not only that, but each meal must have a protein paired with a carb.  That's the only guidelines!  I just have to make sure they are lean proteins and complex carbs, but beyond that I'm good.  I totally didn't realize just how many carbs I've  been eating.  It's a wonder I haven't turned INTO a carb.    No wonder my weightloss has plateaued!  Now I just need to work on my tan and I'll be all ready for a happy fabulous summer!

  Compliments of my dear friend Rachel, I've been tagged.  I've been tagged before, but why not learn some more random facts about each other! 

  Here are the official rules:
  1) Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog
  2) Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
  3) Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
  4) Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

  Random facts about Sarah:
  1.  I prefer to drink any type of drink (soda, juice, tea) without ice.  UNLESS I have to have ice in my glass (like fountain drinks in a convenience store or a fast food place) and then in that case, and only that circumstance, I want TONS of ice.  I know, it doesn't make any sense.  If I must have ice in my drink, I don't want just a few watery cubes...bring it on. 

  2.  I cannot stand clutter on my desk at work.  Everything must be in a pile, the piles must have an equally distributed distance between them, and they must all be at right angles.  I also know where everything is, so don't mess with my stacks! 

  3.  I'm kinda picky on my bottled water choices.  Everyone tells me that it is just water- it's all the same- but I believe differently!  I won't drink Aquafina or Dasani...it tastes funny.  I do, however, like Nestle, Fiji, and Evian.  It's not the same!!!  I promise!

  4.  Ok, this one is really weird, I don't like talking to anyone on the phone before I get to work.    Here's why- I have a strict and timed out routine in the mornings that get me from bed, to the gym, to work.  I don't have time for chit chat in that timespan.  Unless it's an emergency, of course.

  5.  I love love buying new waterbottles and coffee cups.  I don't know why, I just can't get enough. 

  6.  I'm cold nearly all the time.  I don't ever put my winter clothes away because I get cold so easily.  However, I burn up at night!  I have to have the ceiling fan on or I sweat to death.  Secretly, I think it's because Ry heats up like a furnace at night and consequently makes me hot, but I don't know.  Cold all day and burning up at night.

  7.  I like watching the old Law and Order episodes on TBS.  They are the best.   

  People I'm tagging:
  1.  Sarah- my new workout friend.  I can't wait to see what random things you have to say, you're so creative!
  2.  Addie- old college roommate- come on, let's see what you can come up with, again, my creative friends!
  3.  Melissa- Xanga friend- you always make me think...
  4.  Amanda- Xanga friend- you always inspire me!
  5.  Kaudio- Xanga friend- I know you've done this several months ago, but if you have time I'd love to hear some more!  You always rock my world with encouragement and I just wish I knew you past Xanga!
  6.  Misty- co-worker friend- you are such a random gal, what secrets do you have hiding?  I miss you here at work!
  7.  Lex- my running buddy- one of my most invaluable friends, can't wait for Nashville!

  Whew, ok.....go!  Let's see what you've got!
